For me I would crop off the water in No 3 and then convert to high contrast B&W.
Also have a look at a crop to remove the dark foreground in No 2 and see what you think.Neil
MarkKeymasterColour in the 2nd one is great, agree that removing the dark foreground is worth a shot
zchen20MemberndillaneParticipantNot sure I could see that the horizon was crooked which I think was Patricks comment ?
neilmcshaneParticipantMadra RuaParticipantndillaneParticipantYep, I really think they are all better a a result of the advice.
I was surprised that the light house looked better with out the sea in front of it, I thought the sea “placed” it quite well but it definitely looks better with out the sea, makes it look more isolated maybe ?
My favourite is definitely the B&W version of the lighthouse, it’s turned me off the colour version . I now feel the sky looks too blue on the colour version although to be fair it was a beautiful day and the sky was actually close to that blue. The B&W does not reflect the fine day that it was but I still prefer it.
Not sure about the red sky, it has improved but feels a bit flat as a photo for me. It was a spectacular sky but the photo does not capture the breadth of it.
Great advice in general though and much appreciated !
tks
NoelndillaneParticipantThese photos have no artistic merit what so ever unlike my other pictures ‘:wink:’
More sharks as requested. We were out on a 19ft bayliner powerboat and this guy apeared. They are harmless plankton eaters but are REALLY big and ominous especially when the come so close our liddle boat :lol:
These things get to be pretty big you know!
Phew looks like he disappeared down the plug hole :->
MarkKeymasterBit of a Jaws moment there; dun dun dun dun and all that :D
I think I’m correct in thinking that it can be difficult enough to find those Basking sharks.
On the other photos, the crop and the b+w conversion have improved the photos.
Good conversion too btw, not always that easy to do imho.
